Wʜᴀᴛ ɪs ᴀ Pᴜꜰꜰᴋɪɴ?════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════What is a Puffkin you might ask? A Puffkin is a plush-like dragon that is filled with clouds and certain amounts to help keep their soft-like nature in tact along with helping them maneuver through their cloud-like home. These creatures, being made of plush, are rather soft to the touch and are generally well mannered creatures with the occasional one that stray to the wild side. They're known to be sociable creatures among themselves, but hardly stray off towards other species within their realm. It is known that a few of these creatures have been known to converse with others outside of their kind with an array of chirps and squeaks, but never in their native language.

As peaceful as these these creatures may be, there still has been a rupture between the leaders of the leaders of the realm that has caused a rupture between the two clans, leading to what is known as "The Great Divide." Each ruler has split off across the land, starting their own civilizations. Within these civilizations live small troop that display their crest upon a dream catcher. Some Puffkins were forced to choose which leader to follow and have formed their troops within the two clans.

Most Puffkins are rather neutral looking, and it makes it slightly difficult to decipher which clan they belong to, however, there are a few wild puffkins that have mutated to show their nature, although they are rather rare. Those within the dream clan may exert more angelic qualities while those on the side of nightmares are quite the opposite.════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

This cluster of various clouds ranging from stratus to cumulonimbus came together to create a singular shape.This single spec of cloud slowly started to solidify as the wishes and dreams of the youth entered the world taking the form of various fabrics. When combined with the small cloud, the fabrics soon surrounded the gaseous form, enclosing it to form different limbs and other structures that have formed a body. The first Puffkin.Not much else is known about that this Puffkin looked like exactly, although legends tell of a Puffkin who's patterned in white and emits a glow like no other. With the power it was granted it started to build a small community for itself and to those that shortly joined them as more and more wishes and dreams weremade in the dreamscape itself. It wasn't long before the species in itself began to flourish on it's own, and thePuffkin of white slowly began to disappear. No one knows of it's whereabouts to this day. However, this isn't the end. When the great Puffkin vanished out the the picture, there were two descendants of the great one that came into power and formed the basis of the community as we know it.

Lᴏɴɢ Aɢᴏ...Before the great divide, the dreamscape was once a rather peaceful place, a unified place, where Puffkins were happily able to roam free across the land. This was partially due to the unique bond between the rulers of the land,King Solis, the initial protector of dreams and Queen Lunari, keeper of the nightmares. Together, they watched over the dreamscape, making sure all harm that could befall the land and their people. The two ruled over the land for many centuries

All of this seemed to change when their two sons came into power.The two brothers never truly saw eye to eye when it came to the direction of where their attention should lie. One brother saw the values in creating new life from the dreams of the youth and maintaining the current growthwhile the other thought it would be best to rebuild thing things that were previously destroyed as these few things contained a malicious energy.. While in power, the two constantly butted heads with one another until the younger of the two decided the strike first, declaring war.

The two brothers, being equal in power, decided ended their battle in a draw, and an agreement to go their separate ways.With the rule and power being split between the two, the citizens are left with a tough decision.

Formed from the purest of light and the softest of tears, The Clan of Dreams was formed by the eldest son of Solis and Lunari.Cloud

Cloud, being the more calm sibling of the pair, prefers to stay out in the light, tending to those that dream and making sure that they're protected from the advancements of any malice. Cloud believes that offense is the best defense, no matter the situation.

As a promise to his clan members, he chooses to let them live in peace and tranquility as long as they wow to cherish living things and aid in thegrowth of new life within the dreamscape.

Members within this clan have access to clan specific traits.Puffkins with clan specific traits are rather rare and hard to come by.These traits can be earned later on. (c) = common || (uc) = uncommon || (r) = rare || (m) = mythical

Formed of the darkest of souls and the lack of remorseThe Clan of Nightmares was formed by the youngest son of Solis and Lunari.Raven

Unlike his brother, Raven prefers to spend most of his time in the darkbasking in the pale moonlight, watching over the things that have long sincebeen forgotten or abandoned. He isn't as power hungry as he seems buthe does enjoy a bit of chaos and trouble making from time to time. He is a firm believer that offense is best the offense.

As a promise to his clan members, he'll make sure that they're in the best shape to fend off any potential attacks that come their way and help controlthe things that most would find themselves afraid of.
